The Easter Clarion (Paulding, MS) Wed Apr 20, 1859 Pg 3 April 6, 1859
               $150 Reward
   RAN AWAY from subscriber, eight miles from
Decatur, Newton Co., Miss., on the 6th of April,
inst., a bright mulatto boy named BOB. Bob is
about 16 years old, about five-feet high, and
weights 125 pounds, very broad shoulders and
stoutly made, good countenance, quick spoken and
intelligent, hair straight and light brown.-- He
is a very bright mulatto, a little freckeled in
the face, and his eyes, I think, are gray. He
would be apt to pass well for a white boy. He
wore, when he left, a white kersey coat, brown
kersey pants, wool hat and country made shoes.
    As he has doubtless been decoyed off by
some white man, I will pay the above reward for
their delivery to me, with such evidence as will
lead to the conviction of the thief; or Fifty
Dollars for the apprehension of the boy and his
delivery or confinement in jail so that I get him.
                      WILLIAM THAMES
Newton County, April 20, 1859.
